A Pretty Little Gift

I wanted to show you the goodies I whipped up for the special moms in my life the other weekend...
Enjoy :)


First off, I filled some glassine bags with pretty colored treats...

I decorated the bags with fabric scrap flags, meaningful verses, little labels, and sewed it all together with a zig-zag stitch.



I made fabric covered little envelopes... to hold simple little Mother's Day notes.


I wrapped Hershey's Nuggets with Avery address labels... which I had printed vintage floral patterns and polka dots on.


And finally, I wrapped  little boxes in vintage sewing pattern paper and vintage Montgomery Ward catalog pages... (I don't have a pic of the one in the catalog pages :(  )  to hold all the goodies!  I used plenty of double stick tape to secure the brittle paper onto the box... that worked much better than regular tape or glue. 

I liked the wrapped boxes so much, I think I'm going to have to make some for myself... they'd look great on my office shelves :)

Blessings,

    I just found your blog today and really enjoyed seeing all your ideas and projects. I was wondering if you would share how you made your little fabric covered envelopes? Thanks.

      HI Noreen :)
      To make the fabric covered envelopes, I took apart a glassine envelope (any kind of envelope can be used, it just won't be transparent then...), so it was flat. Then I simply used spray glue (spraying on the backside of a piece of fabric and the back of the envelope) and adhered the two together. Then I trimmed the excess fabric off the envelope and reassembled the now cloth-lined envelope. I used double-stick tape to reassemble it. I hope that makes sense... it's kind of hard to explain without pictures! Sometime I might do a post about how to do it and include better details!
